We had a super fun experience! We originally booked the Combo Trail but so glad that we upgraded to Green Lava Trail. It was super worth it!! Thank you also to our super hands on travel guide (and photographer haha) kuya Philip. They also have a photographer which offers printed photos which costs 200 per picture then if you buy 3, you’ll get an email of all the soft copies (this is optional). The staff are very accomodating too! Highly recommended, even for someone who doesn’t know how to drive haha.

Worth it! I really enjoyed the experience! I usually don't engage in outdoorsy activities like this but I had to try since it's my 1st time in Bicol. I went around 7am to avoid the summer heat. And Mayon is usually clear during the early morning. The staff who welcomed me was kind and accommodating. My guide, Jess, was chill and was always looking out for me since I was just by myself, there were no other joiners that time, good for me. yay! I wanted to take more pics and he was accommodating. I have so many pics and vids! Highly recommended!

You can see beautiful scenery. Climbing more than 200 steps is tough, but the view at the top makes up for it. We recommend wearing a swimsuit and marine shoes to the underground river. You will get completely soaked.
